About this map

Port Jefferson and its surrounding North Shore hamlets are defined by the intricate relationship between deep harbors and the Long Island railroad corridor. The maritime history of the area is centered on Port Jefferson Harbor, where the Bridgeport - Port Jefferson Ferry connects the village to the mainland across the Long Island Sound. To the west, the village of Setauket maintains deep roots through several colonial-era burial grounds, including the Caroline Episcopal Church and Cem and the Setauket Presbyterian Church Cem.

The landscape transitions from the residential peninsulas of Strongs Neck and Belle Terre to the sprawling modern campus of Stony Brook University and the Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center. The map preserves local heritage sites like the Setauket Millpond and the Hawkins Family Graveyard, while documenting the growth of inland communities like Port Jefferson Station and Terryville along the rail and road networks.
